Trickster Loki's Odst Build (On Hold)

[Bryce Youtsey]

The Detail On Your ODST Helm IS AMAZING! Cant wait to see it finished

 

[ponchato]

Keep up that level of detail all around the helmet and it will look incredible. Very nice work.

Okay here we go.. HUGE POST!!

I'm loveing it!

cant wait to see it done

Thanks man I cant wait to see it either!!

Loki, man sounds like you need a nap...hhahah but what material are you using for your visor, and how thick is it? and how are you prepping the visor so that it'd work for vacforming?

Yes..yes I do need a nap..haha Im headed to take one right now..to wait out this rain so i can paint! And the visor I just used some clear plastic sheeting I found at a local craft store. Its not to thick and becomes very very brittle when heated..I found that out the hard way!! And the visor? I bondo'd it and smoothed it just like the rest of the helmet. I then reinforced it and made a "buck" to which I then heated the plastic and pushed it down. It was hard work..my father had to help me out haha. But no vaccuform this time around!! Perhaps next time!!

Why thankies. I have been so OCD about this build.. but guess what?! HALLOWEEN IS A WEEK AWAY!! I must hurry..so sacrafices must be made at this point..but I will redetail the bottom of it later. The top is perfectly how I want it..the bottom..not so much And again..I cant wait to see it finished either!

Keep up that level of detail all around the helmet and it will look incredible. Very nice work.

Well..that level of detail went down the drain towards the bottom sadly..but I got most of it detailed how I want! So yeah!!!

[TheBradinatorrr]

Nice! im doing my armor and helm the same color as you are except that the main color is dark gray with silver battle worn all over. it looks realy good with that color and yours will be even better!



GOOD JOB!!

 

[DylanMarx]

[Shade88]

Amazing!!!

 

[DjLoki13]

[jurgenp1]

Lookf awesome. Did you use black tinted carwindow foil on the vizor. Because i think there som airbubbles in it.

-Loki

Lol I know how you feel but oh well -.-"

Looks great though

 

[5N0WM4N]

Dude that new visor looks sooo much better. and your using rondo on the outside i presume? or just straight up bondo?

 

[DjLoki13]

Yeah I did. But I'm redoing it. That was simply to show what it will look like in the final stages. Im trying to find a better plastic, as that one is very brittle and has numerous cracks. Also, for people attempting this visor. Car window tint foil doesnt like to stick to a curved surface...be careful.

Lol I know how you feel but oh well -.-"

Looks great though

Hah thanks man..I have already sanded off my primer and started redetailing -__-; I cant believe im being this stubborn with my deadline only 6 days away!! GAH! Oh wellz...If I dont do it now I wont be happy with it in the long run right? Plus Im hoping to make molds and do a run of this eventually...so if I concentrate on details now its less Ill have to do later!

Hah thanks..Im actually redoing the visor anyways though But I like the look. And the outside is rondo and bondo. Mostly bondo right now as the rondo has a tendancy to run...and go places it shouldnt

Did you just take off the fibreglassed visor then vacuum form it? Did it fit okay without sliding through the hole?

Nice helmet

Nice helmet

I rondo'd the inside of the helmet with the visor inplace. Then as I started to detail the helmet, and cut out the visor. I then fixed the visor to a block so it wouldnt deform and made my visor pull off that. Kinda hard to explain..but it worked. And the visor has to be put into place from inside the helmet...as the visor is just a tiny bit bigger than the opening so I can attach it to the inside and get a nice clean look outside. Yep yep.

Ahh thanks Trickster. I was worried that the formed visor would be slightly smaller then the hole so it just fell through.

if you cut it to the EXACT SHAPE of the original...then yes it will be a little smaller. But you have to leave overlap and an edge so that you can attach it to the inside. Otherwise you would be able to see the attachment points! Just food for thought! Hope it helps

Looking good. I'm glad to hear that someone else used the method I plan on using for making the visor, now I can continue with just a bit more confidence.



I must say, however, that the panel lines on your helmet are just a little wider than I would make them, but great looking helmet anyway.

Yeah..I tried to go off an ingame pic of Dutch's helmet and they were actually a lot wider than I thought. But oh wellz. This is kinda turning into my own build. Im working hard core on the rest of the pieces right now..my vaccuform table is almost built..and yeah! We are going to see how much I can get done in the next 48 hours again. Hopefully Ill be almost 100% by Halloween....
